Tyler
Today has been probably one of the worst days in my life. I get called up to the office in the middle of class, and even I know by now that's never good. Then, this guy has the nerve to tell me that Josh Dun is tutoring me? Like is this a joke? All I did was shake my head violently, to which he just rolled his eyes and shooed me off, then saying something about staying after school in here.

Well, now I here I am. Back in the office, sitting next to the one and only Joshua William Dun (I heard him say that was his middle name).

"Alright you two, now, this is not gonna last for the rest of the year. We are just doing this so Tyler can get caught up in school because he hasn't been to a public one in quite some time." Wait, I've been before?

"Josh, I know you don't agree to this, but this is what you get son. I know you're very smart, so, I think this should benefit the both of you. I already contacted both of your parents and right after this meeting, you guys are going over Tyler's house."

"But Mr. Jackson! I have work today!" Josh says, looking hot headed.

"Well, I'm sorry Mr. Dun, but school is your priority right now. Anyways, good luck you two!"

"Fuck you." Josh snickers, making my mouth go agape.

"Don't make this worse for you Dun, now leave you two." I slowly got up, giving a pleading look to Mr. Jackson, but he doesn't notice, making me go pale. I'm gonna die. I can see Josh out the corner of my eye, smirking like hell as we walked out.

"Okay Joseph, let's go." I just nodded and began to walk home like usual, but this seemed to confuse the hell out of him. What? Pretty boy not used to going everywhere on his own?

"Where are we going?" I looked at him with a blank expression. Did he think I was gonna respond or? My goodness, this whole school thing is making me sassy or bitchy some might say.

"Oh yeah, faggot can't talk." I just sighed and rolled my eyes. At least come up with something better to say if you're gonna hurt my feelings.

After a few minutes of walking, this kid wouldn't shut the heck up! It's like he's never walked a mile before.

"Oh my god Joseph! How much longer? I could've called an uber instead Jesus Christ." I shot him a glare, to which he just grinned and raised an eyebrow.

"Quiet boy has a response?" I roll my eyes again, wishing to be literally anywhere else. Luckily my house was coming into view, but then I remembered something. I legit live in a broken down shack. Dangit, now I'm really gonna be made fun of. I frowned and looked at the place, before stepping inside, expecting Josh to follow, but of course he didn't.

"Um, are we just taking a break or?" I shook my head, making him go white. Wow, he's must have been too rich his whole life to see a house like this. But for a split second, I thought I saw sympathy, pity even, but it soon disappeared.

"This is your home? It's an actual shed Joseph. How can you live-" He was quickly interrupted my Madi, bouncing her way into the doorway.

"Hey Ty Ty! Ooooo, who is this pretty boy Tyler? Is he your boyfriend?" She whispered the last part, causing me to blush immensely. Josh though just had to hear it.

"No, I'm just here to tutor your pathetic brother." I frowned and saw him smiling at Madison. Thank goodness she doesn't know what that means.

"Does patatic mean pretty?" She said with her wide, innocent eyes. He looked at her a moment before responding. "Sure princess." I mentally growled at him calling her that, it made me very uncomfortable.

"Awh, I like him Tyler! He's a keeper!" I groaned inwardly, once again, wishing to be anywhere else. Josh beamed at the girl and smiled. Goodness, he does have a nice smile, I'll admit to that.

"What's your name sweetheart?" She giggles, which finally causes me to smile.

"I'm Madi! What's yours?"

"I'm Josh, you're right, he is a keeper." He winks at her, causing me to physically gag his actions. Too weird too weird. I start to make my way to the basement, Josh following behind and making rude comments as we go down the steps.

"My god this house is awful. I almost feel sorry for you." I roll my eyes at his rude comment, preparing myself for more.

"Why don't you talk?" I froze in my place, turning behind me and looking at him dead in the eye. He was taken aback and rose a brow. I hated lying, so I just said one word that was true.

'hatred'

He looked at me in confusion, I could tell he was trying to figure out what I had mouthed. I guess it finally clicked before he quietly whispered. "Hatred?" I nod at him, then finish going down the steps, finally making it. I look back behind me again to see a very wary Josh.

"Woah, I uh, sorry. Let's just get to work faggot." He said harshly. I slumped into a chair and sighed. Yay, 30 more minutes of this.
